Hello Josh, welcome aboard.

May be I'm not that help that you need, in lack of using a Eagle Spectrum, but I'll try to do my best.

The manual shows the rejection in C&J is will filter out many good items, as the most other preset programs will do. A good start is the relic program. This will be noisy, but you'll do a lot of digging I think. If you're doing to much junk use the display to decide to dig or not. If the environment allows and the detecttor isn't to noisy, try to rise the DC-Sensitivity.

Good Luck & Happy Hunting

Thanks.

Tried mouser. They only have a LED backlit one available (not an exact fit, too tall). I know because I bought it ($50 wasted), unles you are buying 1000s of unit to buy another variation. Now I am trying other vendors.

Centerville has the item "out of stock" in their page.

I will try once or twice again, then give up. My last try will be to adapt a cheap generic one with an arduino interface.

Wish me luck!

Hey Arizonan. p.m. sent. Hope it will help.

Well done. Congrats on the Bling. Now go for Gold. Better Luck next time.🤞

Good Luck and All The Best. May be you post here again if you got a spare part working. 🤞

Have you tried White's repair center? - btw, welcome aboard.

Looks good to me and yes, sounds like you really had fun. Good Luck for tomorrow.🤞

Nice job!  I haven't been able to get out and swing this week.... nor last week.  Hopefully I can get out as the days are getting shorter now.

Fingers crossed. 🤞👍

Could this be some sort of a napkin clip? Would be my guess.

Wow. Great hunt for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Nice read for a bad day.

Thanks for making me smile.

Hello. First of all, nothing of value or special was found. The weather was nice and I was in the mood for detecting. So I grabbed the gear and started detecting the farmland. Sorry about the sound, but at that time the SpectraSound didn't have a mic-bracket (wich it now has) so there is no detectorsound available in the vid.

The coin is a 2€uro one from 2002. Think one of the harvest hands lost it.

Good Luck & Happy Hunting

And do not forget to mention that many dealers who sold White's gear at their time didn't sell Garrett's gear. NOW they are selling Garrett. Think out of the box & global.

I'm with Jeff & Chase, Steve. If you're going to move it, put it to the >>Past metal detector brands forum<<.

The last hunt with the VX3 was a few weeks ago and I didn't have cleaned up the finds right now. Looks like I have to speed up things...

Sorry for the loss, NnAuMiner. Expected or not, it's always hard. But think about the good times you spent together.

Thanks a lot for your patience and effort, Steve. It is really appriciated.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏

Can someone kindly share the PDF?  Seems the link is broken and I just picked up a v3i.  

Thank you!

May be this will help a lot, too.--> White's Spectra V3i by Steve Herschbach. All the Best & Good Hunting

👀 Congrats on that clunker. How long was the digging?

👍👏 Very well done. Wishing Garrett a good start with this nice looking machine. Looks like Steve's dream becomes true.😉

Just a quick pop in to say hi as I look for more information on the hobby I have found myself into. I've been wanting to for a while, and just finally took the plunge. Looking forward to soaking up as much knowledge as I can!

Cheers,

Charles

Hello Charles. Nice to have ya aboard. Yes, there are tons of information here, thanks to Steve Herschbach. And feel free to ask if you need some more special information. Your question in the correct forum will not be unanswered I think.

Good Luck & Enjoy Reading

But who has 10 detectors or more?

Used?? Lot's of more than 10. To get a feeling and like or dislike a detector you don't have to own them. Visit a dealer, or may be a club, and try the machine of your choice, make adjustments and try to get that out of the detector what you like. Have your prefered targets and unwanted targets with you and there you go. And the dealer or club members will help you setting up the machine for sure I think.

IMHO

Hello everyone, I'm a user of The Legend and Xp Orx. I want to do a manual and sound-only search and have some nostalgia, but I want a device that is resistant to minerals and has good discrimination, do you think it can be tejon or vanquero?

Two weeks ago I had the same idea as there is some one offering a tesoro bandido µmax at craigs list at a reasonable price. ( There are sold some µmax Silver, too).

And 7 days I asked myself, what this detector can do the 4 others I own can not. !? Right at the moment there is nothing the Tesoro will do better; may be less weight. But right at the moment sweeping my detectors isn't a problem.

So Steve & JCR are right, Minton, and you noticed that. And I have to agree.👍

Congrats, Simon. Here they sold the spare housing for 55.- Euros;  and that is without battery-holder/adaptor and the screw cap. BTW, have you ever tried a reset to factory defaults?

Hello all.  My brother is giving me his older metal detector.  It is a White's MXT e series.  Is this a good metal detector?

Is it specifically good for prospecting certain types of coins? jewelry? I live on the coast and was planning to hobby

prospect for valuables along the beach. Your opinion would be appreciated.

Hello Newby and welcome to the forum. To me the White's MXT e-series is one of the best detectors, hands down. It never gave me the feeling to left something behind depending on the classic knobs and switches as they always let you know what the detectors power is. And it has a really wide selection of search coils, even 3rd party. The only disadvantage is wet saltwater beaches. But other than that you're fine and have a great starter.

Good Luck & Happy Hunting ... and don't forget the most important.. have fun.

Welcome to the hobby of metaldetecting. And the quest starts right now.

Hy Daniel. Welcome aboard. Congrats on the GPZ 7000 and the gold.

Good Luck & Happy Hunting
